Mr.Scott, who came with the master in the boat, returned on board again in the evening.

Our stage to-day had been eighteen miles, and the horses were both tired and thirsty.

The small supply of water brought us in the boat being insufficient for them, we again were obliged to watch them at night.
November 11 .-- Guided by our friend "Wilguldy," we cut off all the corners and bends of the coast, and steering straight for "Beelimah Gaippe," arrived there about noon, after a stage of twelve miles; the road was harder and more open, but still in places we had to pass through a very dense brush.

The water to which the native took us was procured by digging about four feet deep, in a swamp behind the coast hummocks, which were here high and bare, and composed of white sand.

The water was abundant and good, and the grass tolerable, so that I determined to remain a day to rest and recruit the horses; it was so rarely that we had the opportunity of procuring both grass and water.
